Flash CC Air for mobile stripping Native extensions from app. xml

I have recently been handed a legacy AIR for mobile project built with Flash CC and AIR 15.

The project has a few native extension libraries that are shown in the publish settings under libraries like so:

enter image description here

My app_android-app.xml

looks like this before i publish:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no" ?>

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/15.0">
  <id>com.mypackage.cfsidekick</id>
  <versionNumber>1.1.4</versionNumber>
  <versionLabel/>
  <filename>SHOP!</filename>

  <extensions>
    <extensionID>com.freshplanet.AirAlert</extensionID>
    <extensionID>com.milkmangames.extensions.GoViral</extensionID>
  </extensions>
</application>

But when i publish none of the extensions exist in the file anymore and none of the ANEs work.

the resulting app_android-app.xml looks like this after build:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?>

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/15.0">
    <id>com.mypackage.cfsidekick</id>

Does anyone know why?

I have not worked with flash in like 5 years and am lost.

any help appreciated.

Solution

  • Are you using Flash Pro CC as the IDE?

    If so could you check that in the target settings for Android > Permissions tab > that the 'Manually manage permissions' checkbox is ticked before you publish the app.

    Also, possibly move the ANE's to a new location on your drive and reset the paths to them in the Library Path pane.
